Erin CoburnNovember 3, 2014Not cheap for the pseudo fast-food style, but try Ensalada Maya to start. Divine intro to cactus.
tais ~ 🌸February 5, 2017Had taco chicken tinga. It was yummy but... small portion (even for a small eater like me) makes it a bit pricey.
Omg. Best mexican food in London. Everything was perfect. Impressed by music they play also. Caribou! Win.
Ale MaGuOctober 23, 2011i think is the closest to really mexican cuisine, really tasty BUT is actually annoying having to make a reservation and wait 25 minutes standing and blocking all the small entrance area
Kasper DavidsenOctober 8, 2013Nice atmosphere. Good food. Vent with starters and small dishes - great.
Karen MelchiorJune 18, 2011Flan is truly great! Also enjoyed the cerviche and the arrachera. Good mexican food and very central.
Lillian PaschalidiMarch 17, 2017The food was too heavy and too oily. I still think Taqueria is a lot better. However, I loved how the waiter made the guacamole at our table, this was cool.
Patrick McDermottSeptember 6, 2010Try the queso fundido with chorizo. I also love the Costras cheese tacos. Drink either the avocado or kiwi & coriander margarita!
Milagros DFebruary 26, 2013Absolutely authentic. Opened in conjunction with one of Mexico City's best taquerias.
Unfortunately this is not Mexico... So ingredients are not fully traditional, still the cactus, huitlacoche and pastor are as close as you can get from a real taqueria in Mexico. :)
Karina ArteagaMarch 22, 2014The Margarita was really good!!!! But the mains are very small. I would leave it as good option for cocktails only
Really great frozen Margaritas - pineapple is amazing! Also try the Gringa for a main course.
Paul JoyJuly 4, 2013Bring your own wine glasses - they only seem to have 4 in the entire restaurant!
DamianNovember 8, 2014Service was slow, disappointing portion size, but drinks were well-mixed. We were offered a free (tiny!) guacamole to move to a crappy table. Okay....
You should try the chicharrón con queso, it has the same flavour that in Mexico!
- Dan Hopchet ✨February 17, 2011go down stairs, next to the bar for the best service. Avoid the spicy stuff unless you've got an iron stomach
For Mexico City standards the menu is pretty authentic but the flavours are bland and well bellow average! Shame :-( Mestizo still rules for best authentic flavours

It all started 50 years ago, with El Farolito, a taquería in a little corner of the then unknown Colonia Condesa, located just west of the historic centre of Mexico City... London"s most authentic Mexican taquería. The same tastes, ingredients, flavours and smells as found in Mexico City.

Chelsea Bradley - 8.0
"Smaller inside than you'd expect, so if you're in the stalls you've got a great view of the stage. Very little seating in the bar area"
